Well, I got Workstation configured and it's seeing my CD drive, but it isn't recognizing it as a bootable CD. Isn't all Windows SE Full Installation disks bootable? Is there something I need to do that I am unaware of? Last edited: Apr 7, 2006 gemillam, Apr 7, 2006 #1 Alexey Parallels Developers Messages: 14 Probably your CD isn't bootable. To solve the problem you should boot from bootable DOS floppy (you can use image) and make some preparation before installation. Make new FAT partition on your virtual HDD by FDISK and format it by using FORMAT C: /S. If you want that Windows 98 is installed faster don't forget to add EMM386 in the CONFIG.SYS. Now you are ready to launch setup.exe from your Win98 CD. Alexey, Apr 7, 2006 #2 gemillam Messages: 17 Hmmm... it didn't come with a boot floppy, just the CD. How can I create a boot floppy image for Parallels that will boot the VM and let me run the setup? Thanks for your help, BTW. gemillam, Apr 7, 2006 #3 anshar Messages: 81 1. Check "Boot options" in Parallels configuration window. Boot sequence should start from CD-ROM. 2.
